Grain Bag user tips
Grain bagging has become a popular practice for many farmers.

Agri Novatex provides superior quality grain bags: easy to use, long lasting even in Australian conditions, ideal for creating a low oxygen environment.
3-layers construction. The two outer white layers, protected with UV coating, reflect the sun energy.
The black inner layer, in contact with the grain, keeps temperature low.
High puncture and tear resistance. 240μm thickness guarantees strength and durability.
